and yet he lauds it as economical. In
order TO make 1t appear economical, he

To pursue him into all the sinuositias
of his erooketlness wouii require VOL

which all may be Judged; for, much as
they differ in detail they are all alike
in the unrelieved blackness OF their dis

In order to meet the charge that "his
administration has been the most ex-
travagant that We have ever had in
Ohio" what docs he do? one of the
things he does is to institut an alleged
comparison with respect to "the charit-
able and benevolent institutions OF the
state" under his administration and un-
der that of George Hoadly.
This alleged comparison covers the
fis al years of 1887 and 1886. 1t is pre-
tended to be exhibited in a table, of
which Governor Foraker says: at is
absolutely &C, urate." Now, when the
governor paraded this table at Toledo,
and again at Caldwell. he knew that it
was absolutely false; and as often as he
used it, he has known it to be q brazen
and unmitigated lie.
He knew it was lie to pretend that
his alleged comparative table embracing
the fiscal years of 1885 and 1886 would
exhibit the relative cost of the public
charitable. correctional, and penal insti-
tutions under his administration, and

But this is not all. The very making

asserts in public discussion lis absolute

iniquity and born of the desire to de-

so as to produae false impression. 1t

press an Opinion OH Case Likely to Lead
to Indian Trouble.
WASHINGTON, June lin response to a
request from the Secretary Of the Interior
upon the question OF the jurisdiction Of the
local territorial authorities and minor
courts in executing process against Indians
for offenses under section nine under the
act of March 3, 1885, known as the Indian
Crimes act, Acknowledgement Garland has
declined to express an opinion on the
ground that the question does not
arise out Of a real case demanding ac-
ton by the Interior Department. He sug-
gests however, that test case be brought
in the courts. The case in point was re-
ported by Captain Kerr, Of the Sixth
cavalry, from which it appears that during
the disturbed condition OF affairs lately ex-
listing in Navajo County, New Mexico, q
party OF whites invaded the Indian reserva-
ton and stole herd Of Indian horses. The
Indians retaliated, and it is now believed
that the sheriff of the county will under
take to arrest the suspected Indians. This
action, if permitted, Captain Kerr fears,
will result in serious trouble.
